Recommendations..

Howzit goin peeps. jus wondering where is it great to get your car serviced? jus like the regular check up, like change spark plugs, change of fluids, wheel alignment (especially for a low profile car). jus in need for a check up called the dealership for like the 60,000 miles marker its about $800 to change spark plugs fluids and all belts.. which i think is just ridiculous but not for 800.. so feel me in on where can i go.. kinda newbie here thats why .

thanks

^^^ You can try vakamon and ask for Ryan as he is a past subie owner and again subie owner based on rumors going around.. If you wanna do it yourself, there other members out here on HIIC that has experience in doing it and I wouldnt mind lending a helping hand. Or check out scoobymods.com.

X2 for Vakamon. And you can ask for Davin or Ryan. No job is too big, or too small. Oh, and Ryan does have another Impreza... (they always come back, right?)

We as a Subaru community should support vendors that specialize in our subies and that do a great job. Ryan and Davin are very good examples of that. Both are mechanics that specialize in our vehicles, and honestly care and have pride in their work.
Besides being a Subaru specialist, they are also focusing in general auto maintenance and service. I'm definitely taking my work van to them to do all my maintenance issues.
Show the "aloha" and help sustain our local business, especially one that have direct ties to our subarus.

Thumbs up Vakamon...

Ryan and Davin will professionally repair and install anything you need done to your Subaru...I've trusted them with my car from day 1...and still going strong.

They are the only ones to go to in my mind...

Ryan And Davin @ Vakamon Motorsports (Soon to be R&D Motorsports). There the only shop I trust with my STi. Plus, there both great guys and the quality of there work is the best around. Been going to them for years and they have worked on all 3 of my Imprezas.
